Get Back on Track Campaign for the 6th Replenishment

• On April 18th (175 days before Replenishment) GFAN will launch a “pledge”

based call to action for GF replenishment

• This will be both donor and implementing country relevant with

customizable tools and templates depending on your level of engagement and need

• This will be for individuals and organizations to express their support for a

full replenishment AND for individuals and organizations to ask elected

• fficials, decision-makers and other influencers to express their support as

well

• The campaign theme will remain “Get Back on Track”, GFAN’s ask will

continue to be $18bn USD and we are developing messaging that will dovetail from the GF’s Step up the Fight so that it is complementary

• Updated tools/messaging/suggested focus at regular intervals (100 days,

50 days and 25 days for e.g. before Lyon)
